Moebius inversion: f(n) = Sum_{d|n} g(d) for all n <=> g(n) = Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*f(n/d) for all n.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). So a(24) = a(375) since 24 = 2^3 * 3 and 375 = 3 * 5^3 both have prime signature (3, 1).
A008683 = A140579^(-1) * A140664. - Gary W. Adamson, May 20 2008

Conjecture: a(n) is the determinant of Redheffer matrix A143104 where T(n, n) = 0. Verified for the first 50 terms. - Mats Granvik, Jul 25 2008
From Mats Granvik, Dec 06 2008: (Start)
The Editorial Office of the Journal of Number Theory kindly provided (via B. Conrey) the following proof of the conjecture: Let A be A143104 and B be A143104 where T(n, n) = 0.
"Suppose you expand det(B_n) along the bottom row. There is only a 1 in the first position and so the answer is (-1)^n times det(C_{n-1}) say, where C_{n-1} is the (n-1) by (n-1) matrix obtained from B_n by deleting the first column and the last row. Now the determinant of the Redheffer matrix is det(A_n) = M(n) where M(n) is the sum of mu(m) for 1 <= m <= n. Expanding det(A_n) along the bottom row, we see that det(A_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) + M(n-1). So we have det(B_n) = (-1)^n * det(C_{n-1}) = det(A_n) - M(n-1) = M(n) - M(n-1) = mu(n)." (End)
Conjecture: Consider the table A051731 and treat 1 as a divisor. Move the value in the lower right corner vertically to a divisor position in the transpose of the table and you will find that the determinant is the Moebius function. The number of permutation matrices that contribute to the Moebius function appears to be A074206. - Mats Granvik, Dec 08 2008

[Pickover, p. 226]: "The probability that a number falls in the -1 mailbox turns out to be 3/Pi^2 - the same probability as for falling in the +1 mailbox". - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 13 2009
Let A = A176890 and B = A * A * ... * A, then the leftmost column in matrix B converges to the Moebius function. - Mats Granvik, Gary W. Adamson, Apr 28 2010 and May 28 2020
Equals row sums of triangle A176918. - Gary W. Adamson, Apr 29 2010
Calculate matrix powers: A175992^0 - A175992^1 + A175992^2 - A175992^3 + A175992^4 - ... Then the Mobius function is found in the first column. Compare this to the binomial series for (1+x)^-1 = 1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - ... . - Mats Granvik, Gary W. Adamson, Dec 06 2010
From Richard L. Ollerton, May 08 2021: (Start)
Formulas for the numerous OEIS entries involving the Möbius transform (Dirichlet convolution of a(n) and some sequence h(n)) can be derived using the following (n >= 1):
Sum_{d|n} mu(d)*h(n/d) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(gcd(n,k))*mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)) = Sum_{k=1..n} h(n/gcd(n,k))*mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k)), where phi = A000010.
Use of gcd(n,k)*lcm(n,k) = n*k provides further variations. (End)
Formulas for products corresponding to the sums above are also available for sequences f(n) > 0: Product_{d|n} f(n/d)^mu(d) = Product_{k=1..n} f(gcd(n,k))^(mu(n/gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))) = Product_{k=1..n} f(n/gcd(n,k))^(mu(gcd(n,k))/phi(n/gcd(n,k))). - Richard L. Ollerton, Nov 08 2021

a(0)=0, a(1)=1; thereafter a(n) is the number of ordered factorizations of n as a product of integers greater than 1.
Kalmár (1931) seems to be the earliest reference that mentions this sequence (as opposed to A002033). - N. J. A. Sloane, May 05 2016
a(n) is the permanent of the n-1 X n-1 matrix A with (i,j) entry = 1 if j|i+1 and = 0 otherwise. This is because ordered factorizations correspond to nonzero elementary products in the permanent. For example, with n=6, 3*2 -> 1,3,6 [partial products] -> 6,3,1 [reverse list] -> (6,3)(3,1) [partition into pairs with offset 1] -> (5,3)(2,1) [decrement first entry] -> (5,3)(2,1)(1,2)(3,4)(4,5) [append pairs (i,i+1) to get a permutation] -> elementary product A(1,2)A(2,1)A(3,4)A(4,5)A(5,3). - David Callan, Oct 19 2005
This sequence is important in describing the amount of energy in all wave structures in the Universe according to harmonics theory. - Ray Tomes (ray(AT)tomes.biz), Jul 22 2007
a(n) appears to be the number of permutation matrices contributing to the Moebius function. See A008683 for more information. Also a(n) appears to be the Moebius transform of A067824. Furthermore it appears that except for the first term a(n)=A067824(n)*(1/2). Are there other sequences such that when the Moebius transform is applied, the new sequence is also a constant factor times the starting sequence? - Mats Granvik, Jan 01 2009
Numbers divisible by n distinct primes appear to have ordered factorization values that can be found in an n-dimensional summatory Pascal triangle. For example, the ordered factorization values for numbers divisible by two distinct primes can be found in table A059576. - Mats Granvik, Sep 06 2009

More generally: let tau[k](n) denote the number of ordered factorizations of n as a product of k terms, also named the k-th Piltz function (see A007425), then we have for n>1:
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..bigomega(n)} Sum_{k=1..j} (-1)^(j-k)*binomial(j,k)*tau[k](n), or
a(n) = Sum_{j=1..bigomega(n)} Sum_{k=0..j-1} (-1)^k*binomial(j,k)*tau[j-k](n). (End)

Number of partitions of n in which greatest part is odd.
Number of partitions of n+1 into an even number of parts, the least being 1. Example: a(5)=4 because we have [5,1], [3,1,1,1], [2,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1,1].
Also number of partitions of n+1 such that the largest part is even and occurs only once. Example: a(5)=4 because we have [6], [4,2], [4,1,1] and [2,1,1,1,1]. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 05 2006
Also the number of partitions of n such that the number of odd parts and the number of even parts have opposite parities.  Example: a(8)=10 is a count of these partitions: 8, 611, 521, 431, 422, 41111, 332, 32111, 22211, 2111111. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 01 2014, corrected Jan 06 2021

Suppose that c(0) = 1, that c(1), c(2), ... are indeterminates, that d(0) = 1, and that d(n) = -c(n) - c(n-1)*d(1) - ... - c(0)*d(n-1).  When d(n) is expanded as a polynomial in c(1), c(2),..,c(n), the terms are of the form H*c(i_1)*c(i_2)*...*c(i_k).  Let P(n) = [c(i_1), c(i_2), ..., c(i_k)], a partition of n.  Then H is negative if P has an odd number of parts, and H is positive if P has an even number of parts.  That is, d(n) has A027193(n) negative coefficients, A027187(n) positive coefficients, and A000041 terms.  The maximal coefficient in d(n), in absolute value, is A102462(n). - Clark Kimberling, Dec 15 2016

An ordered factorization of n is a sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.

We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)).

			The ordered factorizations for n = 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 36:
